Headlining fir tree clips

Will need to take out my head lining soon so does anyone know the correct part number for genuine fir tree clips for the Puma?
Plenty on E-bay but they are non genuine some of them and also differing in colours between white grey and black. I want standard which is white. And preferably genuine.
Thoughts or suggestions welcome.

Just ordered some white one's from Dan at Duckworths. Can't help with the part number but they were 92p each... Cheers,

if your carefull you can reuse them Steve, the trick is to put your trim tool under the headlining and under the clip not just under the clip from the outside

Superspoons - I've used Dan to buy genuine parts before so I will give that a go.

Chris - Cheers for the tip mate. I bought a proper tool to do it with now anyway which I think was the sensible option to have taken. Funny enough I just read earlier on-line on another forum just the same tip.

So what are the chances of breaking any? 50/50?

If they're made anything like mine from '85 then they don't break!

OK the odd one may be a bit bent, but it is a landy....

I'd imagine from 85 to 2007 the quality probably depreciated.

What ever happens I don't want to be using Britpart clips.

Even with the proper tool I ended up busting a few of mine,
Maybe I'm just heavy handed

I don't think they are too happy to be removed no.

I've got Dan @ Duckworth parts sorting me out with some Genuine. Quite expensive little blighters for what they are really.

In LRO December 2011, under renewing a headlining, they said use vw t5 trim clips. On flee bay:
